Reason to be armed...

[circmand]

A mother called the cops on her son to have him removed. The a%@hole shot 3 cops and finished one while he was laying in the street. With all the training and equipment the police have they cannot even protect themselves let alone us. And do not let those movie cops fool you they will let you take a bullet before them. In addition I do not think asking rapists and murders and such nicely to give their guns up will work. So I am not about to give mine up when crooks can still have theirs and no protection elsewhere. In addition when Obama and the other Democrat politicians that have made a war zone of DC by banning guns try to perform their magic elsewhere around the country I want to be prepared. I guess the jobs Obama wants to create are drug dealers, wheel men and robbers and hit men.

Has anyone noticed how difficult it is to buy 9mm ammo. None available around here. Most popular caliber. I went to Montana recently and none on the shelves. Most all of the hand gun calibers were gone.

Asked the clerk, "Where's the ammo?"
"Gone."
"Gonna get any more?"
"Maybe."
"When."
"Maybe Tuesday."
"What time Tuesday?"
"Maybe around 11."
"When will it go on sale?"
"Maybe around 1, gotta inventory it."
"What's the problem?"
"Obama."
"Any reloading stuff?"
"Gone."
"Got any 50cal?"
"No."
"20mm?"
"No."
"40mm?"
"Zip."
"105?"
"Zero."
"155?"
"Nada."
"How 'bout Claymore's?"
"I bought the last one."
"Any black powder?"
"Some..."
"Sparklers...?"

There was just a gun show here and I guess the Miwall people were there and people were taking out ammo by the hand truck full. From what I hear it was overpriced as hell but still.

Our walmart occasionally gets 9mm in more than 50 round qty.

There was a story on NPR about it today. Part of the reason is that we're sending a lot of ammo to the sand box. The other reason is people are afraid that Obama's going to ban or tax guns and/or ammo, so they're stockpiling.

Still not hard to find ammo of any kind here

And this story is a prime example on why I'll have a Taurus Judge in my Glove box, a 1911 in the night stand and an AK under the bed...

HA!

Really though.

Ah ha, so that's where you keep 'em. Now everybody knows!!!

[Chopper]

And this is why there's at least one in every room, and each vehicle....garage and bathrooms included.No problem with ammo here yet...but we've plenty stocked anyhow . I got over my hippy crap years ago.....and have been forced to admit, the vast majority of mankind, is quite disposable, and is in fact, a form of varmint

[CrnCnn]

Do you guys keep your guns in your VX all the time, or any vehicle for that matter? I just dont feel right doing that. What if someone stole your ride?

x2 LOL

[taylorRichie]

You should come and get one HA!

I don't generally keep one in my vehicles... Too scary if a break in happened and they got your gun. But I, depending where I'm going, keep one with me. So when I'm in the car, it'll be there too...

On another note, If anyone is interested in buying a Springfield 1911 from me, with about 300 rounds through it, let me know I'm probably going to get a more compact .380

Haha! Yep, come to Utah where ammo is cheap and Guns are plentiful. We also have one of the lowest crime rates in the country.

Don’t get a PPK they suck.

Sure, I'll be right over (followed by "tink" sound-- my selector lever being moved from Safe mode to Fire mode).

While you're checking out compact size .380's, take a peek at the Para-Ordnance "Wart Hog" sub-compact .45 ACP (extremely small, extremely powerful, w/high capacity).
